A lot of people think free traffic exchanges don't work any more, but you can! Some of the most successful people on the internet are still quietly using them, and you can, too. The secret to their success is their system. This system will work for you, too, if you carefully and consistently follow the instructions below.

The key to you succeeding and making money with free traffic exchanges (TEs) is in having the right tools. Set these up and you will have all the traffic you can handle. Do this properly and you will easily make money! You need these tools:

Downline Builders

Rotators

Co-ops

Bookmark Folders

Specialty Tools

Downline Builders

Downline builders for traffic exchanges are special websites that let you track and advertise multiple traffic exchanges that you belong to all at once with one URL, rather than trying to advertise every traffic exchange you belong to individually. When you join a downline builder, you will find simple instructions on the site telling you how to add your referral links to the system. It is a simple matter of filling in the blanks with your affilate id. Whenever you come to a site you do not belong to, you simply join that site first, then put your new ID into the space provided. Then, rather than advertising all your traffic exchange referral links, you advertise your special link from the downline builder, which saves you a ton of time, and will build your downlines in all the traffic exchanges must faster.

We will explain how you promote your links on all these traffic exchanges in a few moments. For now, here are the downline builders you should be using. These are the best ones out there, and they work very well. If you want to try others later, that's great, but remember, you need to have a plan and you need to stick to it. This is a system that works. Don't try to reinvent the wheel. Once you have this system working successfully, if you want to try tweaking it, that's often a good idea. For now, let's follow the simple steps and get you going!

These three sites have both free and paid services. It is well worth the small monthly fee to get the paid membership for the huge amount extra you get. You can earn some nice commissions with these sites, too, which will easily cover your fees. Whether you have a paid or free membership, these three are absolutely necessary for your free traffic exchange success.

Many of the traffic exchanges also have downline builders built in to them. These can be useful, but don't spend any time on them until you get this system set up. You can easily overload yourself if you try to do too much at once. Stick to the plan and plan to stick at it and succeed!

Rotators

Rotators are special tools that let you advertise more than one website or webpage using only one URL. They also make it easy for you to change your websites on ALL your traffic exchanges at once, rather than having to sign into every one and change them manually. These are an indispensable tool for traffic exchanges.

Once you join the rotator, put the referral URLs for your downline builders from TE Commandpost, TrafficHoopla and TEHoopla into your new Pageswirl rotator. Next, put the link for this rotator into your new Traffic Monsoon rotator. Then you will put your Traffic Monsoon rotator (below) URL into all of your traffic exchanges.

PageSwirl has been around for a very long time in Internet years, and has a great and proven track record. Many traffic exchanges now also offer some kind of rotator, but nowhere else will you get the kind of heavy lifting you get with PageSwirl. The free version will rotate up to five URLs, while the paid version will rotate unlimited URLs. They offer a huge amount of tools that you can gradually add to your arsenal over time, and very good affiliate commissions, as well. PageSwirl also has a very good downline builder, which we do recommend you use, as soon as you have everything else set up.

Traffic Monsoon also has a rotator, but you also get a full toolbox that can really help increase your time efficiency in building your downlines and credits in the traffic exchanges. You can add your PageSwirl rotator link inside Traffic Monsoon and build credits for both at the same time. Use this special links in all your traffic exchanges you belong to. Any time you want to promote another site or take out a site, you simply change it in your rotator on PageSwirl or Traffic Monsoon. It will automatically change everywhere (just like magic!)

Co-ops (Optional)

It's not critical to this plan to take part in traffic co-ops, but it is a good idea if you have a small advertising budget. Co-ops pool the buying power of a large group of people, so that your advertising dollars will go a lot further than if you simply went it alone. By participating in a good co-op, you can speed up this plan a lot!

There are many different browsers available, today. Internet Explorer still comes as the standard with Windows, but for light weight, speed and almost unlimited available free applications, Google Chrome is pretty hard to beat. For a comparison of the top ten browsers, visit this link.

We will only recommend Google Chrome at this time, but for the adventurous, will point you to a free new browser specifically built for traffic exchange surfing that offers the handy feature of switching to a new tab every time you click. This is a very cool feature! It also offers a downline builder.

Put the links from the various traffic exchanges you belong to into the files you just created. Many traffic exchanges use a surf link that does not require you to log in to surf. That is the link to use if possible. Otherwise, use the login page. Put at least seven and no more than eleven links in each folder. If you use too many, you will likely stall your browser when you surf.

Right click on Surf1 and click on "Open all Bookmarks in Tabs." This will open all the links from that folder in tabs.

Surf these sites for 30 minutes, then close these sites and do the same for Surf2. Repeat this every day, and when you have surfed all your folders, start again at the beginning. Depending on your schedule, you might opt to surf more or less per day. Just do it consistently. This is a long term strategy that works very well.

Optional Specialty Tools:

There are a number of specialty tools available for you that can enhance your system and make you more efficient. These are listed last, because you should set up your system first. you can add these at any time in the future. In business, the K.I.S.S. or Keep It Super Simple approach is best. Get it built, then tweak it.

In keeping with that, I am not going to go into explaining the tools listed here; you can read all about them inside. Some are really simple. Some are more complicated. HINT!! Never take on more than you can handle at one time.

Advertise, surf and GET PAID - Optional - upgrade one time and reinvest. Be patient. You can make BIG money! Terrific advertising, too, and another really good rotator.

It is essential to track your advertising, no matter whether it is via classified ads, email, signature file or traffic exchange.

Make use of two specialty exchanges, The Adlandpro Traffic Exchange and Traffic Swarm. Advertise them in your rotator on the traffic exchanges, and use them to advertise your affiliate programs. Unlike most Traffic Exchanges, these two specialty sites require people to actually choose to visit your site, and they have to stay on your site for a full thirty seconds. Your credits are only used when somebody actually does this. Nowhere else will you get this kind of value.
